Son, today's meals are all about pocketbook meals.
0:04
Jamie and I are trying to help you with your food budget today
0:08
It's what everybody wants is good food.
0:11
At a fair price? Absolutely.
0:14
I'm going to slice us up some squash
0:17
and we're going to fry them up.
0:19
Jamie's going to mix up our dry ingredients.
0:22
I'm going to slice our squash.
0:24
I've got four yellow squash here.
0:26
You know, y'all, it's all about the seasons.
0:30
When they're at their peak they're the most inexpensive.
0:35
I'm going to go ahead and do this y'all
0:36
so I can help Mama with the squash.
0:37
I'm going to put one cup of cornmeal.
0:44
One cup of all purpose flour.
0:52
teaspoon of baking powder.
0:57
And I love, love, love,
0:59
love, all the flavors that are in Creole seasoning.
1:01
So I'm going to add three tablespoons
1:04
of Creole seasoning here, Mom.
1:06
Before I turn it around, I'm going to add salt and pepper.
1:10
add a big pinch of salt, son, because you're working
1:13
with all purposes here, which contain no salt.
1:17
All right, now, son, I have got my squash sliced, an
1:32
The shell, I don't charge extra for that, y'all.
1:35
A little bit of shell in there.
1:38
And I'm going to pour about a half a cup of buttermilk in.
1:42
And I'm just eyeballing that
1:47
and I'm going to beat that together.
1:49
And we're going to run our squash through eggs
1:52
and buttermilk so that our tri coating will stick.
1:59
And now I'm just going to
2:00
throw my squash right into our buttermilk and eggs.
2:05
And you can see about how thick I've sliced them.
2:10
I don't particularly want these too thin,
2:13
but I don't want them too thick either.
2:17
So they're ready for you son when you're ready.
2:19
Alright. Get them in the flour and we'll drop in the fryer
2:23
I'm gonna get these coated up really well.
2:26
We're gonna drop those down in the deep fryer y'all
2:34
until they're nice and brown.
2:45
Those are looking good.
2:47
These aren't going to take that long.
2:48
Yeah, I wouldn't handle them too much
2:50
until that coating has a chance to get brown and stick to em
2:55
good son, but they're brown and nice and quick.
3:00
Yum. These aren't going to take one second.
3:03
I'm going to turn that down.
3:04
It's just a hair over 350 degrees on the deep fryer.
3:09
So I'm going to put it exactly on 350.
3:15
We'll get about two sandwiches out of that, don't you think?
3:21
Think these are done, Mama?
3:23
We're on the edge of Golden Brown.
3:24
Yeah, those are probably done.
3:29
You know, it's a great,
3:31
nutritious, healthy vegetable.
3:35
Yes, we're frying it.
3:37
It was about 5 minutes ago.
3:41
But, you know, you can't have everything.
3:46
Two out of three ain't bad.
3:49
This is just going to be so dang gone hot.
3:51
It's going to be fire hot. Look at that.
3:58
Whoa! So good and hot.
